Pork neck baked in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake pork neck in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. You can use any frozen berries: black currants, cherries, lingonberries, cranberries, or not add them at all. But I strongly recommend using berries: together with honey they create a wonderful tandem and perfectly complement the taste of meat. You can replace the red onion with a regular onion, but red onion is still preferable - it is more aromatic and less pungent.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the pork neck thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Make deep transverse cuts on the pork with a knife, not reaching 2 cm from the bottom. Season the pork outside and in the cuts with salt and pepper.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onion and cut into half rings. At the same time, try not to let the half rings fall apart into separate segments, because you need to insert them whole into the meat.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place frozen berries (mine are cranberries) in a blender bowl. Add honey and 1 tbsp. l. vegetable oil.

5. STEP 5

   

   Beat everything until smooth puree. The puree will be very cold and viscous, so it is very convenient to spread it on the meat. To keep the mass cold, it is better to beat the berries at the very end, just before spreading it on the meat.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the meat in a baking dish. Rub it with the berry mixture on the outside and in the cuts.

7. STEP 7

   

   Insert onion half rings into the cuts on the pork. Pour the remaining vegetable oil over the top of the meat.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cover the pan with foil, being careful not to let the foil come into contact with the meat, otherwise the berries and onions will stick to it. Place the pork neck in an oven preheated to 190°C for 1 hour. During this time, the piece of pork should be well baked inside.

9. STEP 9

   

   Then remove the foil and pour the juice from the bottom of the pan over the neck. Return the meat to the oven and bake for about 30 minutes at 180°C. The exact baking time depends on the features of your oven. The top of the neck should be browned.

10. STEP 10

    

    Transfer the finished meat to a dish, cut into portions and serve. Bon appetit!
